As far as I can make out the Family Relatives website is back online: http://www.familyrelatives.com/ I don't know when it reappeared. It is a useful site for looking up the GRO overseas indexes.

There is an item on Chris Paton's blog here http://www.britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/familyrelativescom-and-gro-ov erseas-bmd.html about the fact that their web site is unreachable. From a bit of checking online they seem to have disappeared about the 22nd July. The company which ran the outfit was based in Jersey, so I don't hold out much hope for anybody who had a subscription. They were useful for looking up overseas BMDs as they were free to lookup. Can't say I am altogether surprised, but is a shame that the big players dominate the market so much.
